The book’s publication is timely as it coincides with the discovery of the significant family scrapbook known as The Buckingham Book” This scrapbook of photographs and ephemera was created by the Head family who lived at Buckingham House (1889-1905). Scans of the scrapbook have been given to shorehambysea.com to publish for the first time.
